Replaced the O-rings and bushing on my front forks of my 2000 Honda CR250R. Got to the step of adding fork oil and did all that but when I pump the piston rod to bleed out air I cant seem to get any pressure for the rod to go back down. It goes down about an inch then stops. Still hear sounds of air pressure in the system possibly but Ive pumped it about a hundred times. Manual says if you cant get pressure youve added too much fluid so ive adjusted it and still no progress. Any ideas on what may be wrong o

So I'm rebuilding my 2001 yz 250f engine. I'm gonna go ahead and get the wiseco bottom and top end rebuild kit for the 2003 model.
What else is a must do when converting the bottom end to the 2003.
I've read something about the exhaust cam and the stator size, but are those must do's? I'm really trying to not spend too much.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am rebuilding a 1993 Kawasaki KX250 and have run into an issue after recieving a different year case than what I was expecting (1993). I believe the case I received is an 89? But Im not to sure. The case I recieved doesnt fit with the ignition system meant for a 93, so i couldnt use it even if i wanted to. After searching on ebay and other parts sites I cant find any 93 left engine cases, and the only one ive found is attached to a whole bottom end and is nearly 500$. Does anyone know if i can slide a 92 case on my bike? Or a 94? Just curious to see if thats even an option.
Thanks,
Kaelan

I am 15 years old and am looking for a new dirt bike. My first bike was an ssr110 with a manual transmission and I got it 3 years ago. I'm looking for something new and reliable. I would say I'm an intermediate rider and I drive mostly on the road and a small trail in my backyard, about an acre big. I'm 5'6" and weigh 120 pounds. Some stuff I didn't like about the ssr is that it became unreliable recently. It was good for the first 2 years but crapped out for the last 1. The most important thing I'm looking for is a very reliable and low maintenance bike as I am not very mechanically inclined. It also needs to have an electric start, (preferably with a kick start too, but not required) a key needed to start it, (There are younger kids I don't want riding it without someone watching them) it also needs to be a manual with a clutch that's easy enough for a younger kid to pull. The budget is around 4000 and it'll be mostly for play riding. I'm looking at a Honda crf125f big wheel or a Yamaha ttr125le.

So I rode when I was younger and I’ve been out of the sport for a long time. I was real excited and bought a rm250 looks amazing just had trans problems so I bought it as a project bike to fix back up. I want to see if the bike is stolen or not or what I can do with it rn bc I’m stuck I don’t wanna put money into a stolen bike. One the forks I can see it was once license in Washington with an ORV is their anyway I can look it up to try and find the vin

Just moved from Southern California to Florida (near Clearwater area) and was hoping I could get some great riding areas to check out, along with new people to ride with! Also, if there are any women riders please let me know. Hoping to meet some new friends! I ride a 2007 yz250f.

I was powerwashing my dirt bike with the delegate nozzle and I just got this power washer. I did not realize its true power as I have only used it on concrete. I was washing some stains out of my WR250F's tires and accidently came a little too close with the pressure washer. I have some damage on the side of the tire and can't tell if it is enough to make me replace the tire. I don't know how much damage is too much damage. I would appreciate any advice on this as I don't want any problems on the trails.

Hey guys I recently bought a new to me 2006 rmz250 that's needing rebuilt. I'm ending up having to put a head on it with all new valve train stuff also. I'm just having a hard time deciding whether I should go with titanium or stainless steel valves possibly even a mix of the two like on the Hondas. I was just hoping to hear from anybody to see there experience on this matter.

I have the dirt bike ramp, that you put in the hitch and lock it. Been using it for a little bit, and didn’t realize it but it looks liken someone hit the screw, the piece connected to the screw won’t unscrew as the screw blocks it. Now I can’t take it out. I’ve tried straightening out the screw with the mallet but couldn’t do it. Any advice?

Hi I'm beginning to ride a 94 rmx250 / doing my own repairs due to lack of finances, and I'm getting interested in racing but I need information. I would just ask one of my dirt buddies, but they aren't professionals. If you're gonna do something do it right. So with that qoute it makes me feel that in order to ride right and excel at my skills correctly as well as quite a few other details. I need to talk to a real rider who has already been through a bit and understands coming up from nothing to something.

So i was able to pickup a new GPX Moto FSE250R this week. (Yesterday) I hope to get it uncrated and assembled this weekend for some better shots, but I've been taking a few just so I can remember how clean it was new!!
This is the first year of these bikes; the Pitster Pro LXR 250 EFI was it's predecessor. They also have some other models: an air-cooled 250 and a 230cc 2-stroked that runs a Yama-clone DT Lanza motor (40hp).
Decided to buy one after getting to test ride a couple on some local singletrack last week. As I started unpacking it the quality and attention to small details have blown me away. Much nicer than I'm used to!
Like the LXR, this motor runs the NC250. It is 4-valve OHC motor that makes 25-30 hp depending on who you ask. This motor is used in a ton of bikes and brands ranging from AJP to CSC's RX-3.
NC250:
For now, I just wanted to drop a few detail photos of the bike as I uncrate:

I have a 2004 Rm-Z250. I bought it off a guy for $700 because he didn't want to deal with it anymore. He put a new crank and piston in and still couldn't get it going. I brought it home and did a compression check and it read 60. which is low, I know. So I took it apart and looked and the cylinder and it had some pretty good scratches in it. I honed it for about 15 Seconds and threw it back together and kicked the hell out of it and nothing. I pulled the spark plug out to check the compression and the plug was saturated in oil. I was getting blow by. so I bought a new cylinder and just threw it on and that fixed the blow by. So then I tried to start it and it was giving me a really hard time and wouldn't start so I checked the plug to see if it was shot. It had a decent amount of carbon build up so I threw a new one in. It was wanted to start when I did that. I started to feather the throttle a little to try to help it and it fired up. not every time but about once every 10-20 kicks. So after going through the entire bottom end and top end, the only thing i'm left with is the carb. The bike wont idle and I gave it a little ride and its not running too hot so I believe something is wrong with the carb. I cleaned the jets too. I just took it apart and the O ring on the throttle slide is broken and I am going to throw a new on on but I feel like there is more to it than that. especially with it being so hard to start. There is also a knob on the bottom of the float bowl with numbers on it. Numbered 1-4. I attached an image so you can see what I am talking about. I've looked at the manual and at tons of carbs and have no clue what it is. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Alex

My 2007 WR250F has been starting with no problems with the electric start. I just ran the bike Saturday and towed the bike from North Carolina to Colorado Sunday and Monday. Today, I went to start the bike and the electric start was not working. I just charged my battery a couple months ago because the battery died. Could it be the change in temperature? I kick started it and after several kicks it started, but when I press the button for the electric start it just never turns on. The fact that it starts rules out a bad spark plug. This is probably as simple as just needing a new battery but I figured I'd ask just to see what other people had to say.

My dad has a 2002 or a 2005 Kawasaki 650 that sputters when you give it gas. (Sorry can't remember the year)
Sometimes it will run fine (only for a few minutes) and sometimes right away once you start it and give it gas it'll lag and sputter when you roll the throttle.
It starts right up but for some reason this problem keeps happening and it's preventing me and my dad from riding.
He's nearly 60 years old and I want to help him fix it so we can get some more rides in together. He's been messing around with the gas line and one of the air tubes from he carb. He was showing me that the main gas line had a bubble in it so it wasn't getting gas but I'm thinking it might be something with the carb.
What do you guys think? Any ideas would be a huge help for us so we can get back to riding.

Headed to Bearwallow this weekend.
First trip down there. Staying at the Holiday inn just outside of Logan.
Questions-
1.) Anyone with area experience know any must ride trails or sights to see?
2.) MX bikes with stock gas tanks, should we plan on taking extra gas with us? I usually take 2 gatorade bottles of gas.
3.) Going EARLY Saturday, coming home Sunday evening. Should we try to ride Bearwallow and Rock House, or Bearwallow only?

Hey guys I recently bought a 99cr125 long story short it needed a clutch cable and perch. I ordered new clutch cable and a cheap 10$ perch and new boysen clutch basket and plates. The bike runs great it's just super hard to pull the clutch. I lubed it very generously and I have it routed correctly i don't know what it could be I'm not the weakest dude out there but man does it kill my hand and fingers and it's quite annoying. Anybody have some advice? Thanks
